  GoToMyPC -- Server Response (Inbound) 1 [Reqs all Citrix sigs]

Category: REMOTE-ACCESS      

Application: GoToMyPC      

Gotomypc.com sells a service designed to create a tunnel from a user's desktop on a lan to the Internet. The service then exposes access to that desktop to the internet.
While the service is not malicious and requires authentication, it can breach your security policy. The tunnel reduces the security protection provided by a firewall between the desktop and the internet. It can be considered as unwanted end user network activity, much like P2P application usage and IM application usage.

Note: these signatures require all "Citrix" application signatures be enabled.
